Project description

Shapely is a Python package for programming with 2D geospatial geometries. It
is based on GEOS (http://geos.refractions.net). Shapely 1.0 is ignorant about
coordinate and reference systems. Projection responsibility is left to specific
applications. For more information, see:

Dependencies

Installation

Windows users should use the executable installer, which contains the required
GEOS DLL. Other users should acquire libgeos_c by any means, make sure that it
is on the system library path, and install from the Python package index:

$ sudo easy_install Shapely

with the setup script:

$ sudo python setup.py install

or by using the development buildout on Linux, which also provides libgeos_c:

Usage

See the manual for comprehensive examples of usage. See also Operations.txt
and Predicates.txt under tests/ for more examples of the spatial operations and
predicates provided by Shapely. See also Point.txt, LineString.txt, etc for
examples of the geometry APIs.
